I should be at the pub after our major charity day on Saturday. Will it be with watching?
Based on their efforts against the Reds, I'd say yes. The Force are nobodies.

I've seen the Tahs lose often enough to unfancied opposition - Farce included - to take nothing for granted

Fuck I recognise only a third of the Tahs, so they are not exactly stacked with big names!
And the force have an All Black!

No, we're blooding a lot of young guys at the moment. The exciting ones to watch are Mark Alphabet on the wing, Harrison at 10, Harris at 8 and Bell at prop. All from our good U20s side last year.

Force swapped out the the purply-blue & black for a yellow & black Jersey, or is this their away kit?
Anywho, they’re up 3-0 after 20 mins.
Shit rugby compared to the Crusaders Blues game that’s for sure.
Edit: It must be an away kit you fool, otherwise they’d clash with NSW!!!

Commentators going on and on about Stander but you'd struggle to find a guy that's easier to defend against. He's groundwards bound before a tackler even gets close! You literally just need to advance towards him.
To be fair there hasn’t been much else to get excited about in the match so far.
